# Working with /positions
You can view the positions in your portfolio by making a `GET` request to the `/v2/positions` endpoint. If you specify a symbol, youll see only your position for the associated stock.
```python
from alpaca.trading.client import TradingClient
trading_client = TradingClient('api-key', 'secret-key')
# Get our position in AAPL.
aapl_position = trading_client.get_open_position('AAPL')
# Get a list of all of our positions.
portfolio = trading_client.get_all_positions()
# Print the quantity of shares for each position.
for position in portfolio:
print("{} shares of {}".format(position.qty, position.symbol))
```
```javascript
const Alpaca = require("@alpacahq/alpaca-trade-api");
const alpaca = new Alpaca();
// Get our position in AAPL.
aaplPosition = alpaca.getPosition("AAPL");
// Get a list of all of our positions.
alpaca.getPositions().then((portfolio) => {
// Print the quantity of shares for each position.
portfolio.forEach(function (position) {
console.log(`${position.qty} shares of ${position.symbol}`);
});
});
```
